Path of Light.

Chapter 537 538. The Color of the Sea
I don’t know how it happened, but when we sat at the dining table, we started talking about the conflicts between the half-blood elves and the Silver Moon elves.

The concerns expressed by Ms. Nancy were reasonable, but Roy didn't know what he could do.

The current Partington plane seems to be doing well. A large number of half-blood elves have poured into the Partington plane, making the city of Padstow prosper rapidly...

Roy was thinking about this all the way until they said goodbye to Ms. Nancy and returned to Shelter Bay.

Actually, what Ms. Nancy said is correct. The half-blood elves on the Elf Continent have always been in a state of oppression. They have even become accustomed to an unequal life, but hasn’t it always been like this?

Isn't Padstow City developing well now? And the Silver Pegasus Legion has also formed a half-elf security guard group...

The status of half-elves in the city of Padstow seemed to have become equal and freer.

There were even some half-blood elves standing on the street pointing at a Silvermoon Elf merchant and shouting "Get out of Partington".

Arriving at the beach, Roy was awakened by the strong sea breeze. Although this farce made the half-blood elves stand up straight, it also made their hearts swell blindly. Once the grievances and resentments accumulated in the hearts of the half-blood elves come out, the entire city of Padstow may be affected.

You have to know that most of the officials in Padstow City at this time are still Silvermoon Elves. Ms. Nancy is probably worried about this.

Sometimes, Roy was really curious about Ms. Nancy's identity.

The crescent moon in the night sky cast a cool light, and the densely packed tents on the beach rustled in the sea breeze.

There were several bonfires that were not completely extinguished, and when the ashes flew in the wind, the sparks always looked particularly dazzling.

Some half-blood elves who couldn't sleep at night were still chatting, holding a string of salty and fragrant sea fish in their hands.

Unfortunately, the holy light of the Moonlight Goddess does not seem to fall on the half-blood elves...

……

The moonlight falls on the sea, reflecting a sparkling light...

The waves rolled onto the beach, making extremely crisp sounds.

The sea breeze was a bit strong, and the clouds in the night sky were like a veil, occasionally blocking the moonlight and occasionally letting the moon show.

Moira walked out of the sea and skipped to Roy's side. The sea water kept dripping down her body. She shook her wet hair and sat down beside him. Roy ignored the sea water that splashed on her when she shook her head and wiped her wet hair with a dry towel.

The tenderness in Moira's eyes melted instantly, and that sweet smile was like a clear spring in the lightless night.

She leaned on Roy's strong shoulder and rested her head on it, a hint of pink appeared on her crystal clear pointed ears.

Moira was a little shy, but taking advantage of the night, she took the initiative to look at Roy with her big watery eyes. She pursed her lips, and the hot air she exhaled almost all sprayed on Roy's cheeks.

Roy threw a pebble into the sea in front of him. He hesitated for a moment before asking Moira:

"If I go out to sea one day, I might go to the other side of the sea to have a look. I have had this thought since I got to know this sea. Sometimes I always feel that my life is like a dream, so I want to see if the end of the sea is the end of the dream... When I leave, will you be sad?"

"No!" Moira answered simply and firmly.

Her lips were very beautiful, and after drawing a graceful arc, she whispered almost close to Roy's ear: "I don't want to wait here alone for you to come back. I want to sail with you. I can help you..."

As he spoke, a soft little hand held Roy's hand tightly.

Roy responded in a low voice: "I heard from them that no elf couple can stay together for a lifetime. For an 800-year-old elf, this life is too long. They always have to give each other some private space, so as to maintain enough freshness."

No matter how hard he glared at those big obsidian eyes, they seemed incapable of looking fierce.

But Moira just stared at Roy without saying a word, her face puffed up, and the expression on her face fully revealed her obsession...

"..."

Even though Moira had remained silent, Roy felt a little guilty. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately gave in and said:

"...Okay! I admit that the elf's remarks were wrong! If you want to go to sea with me, then we will go together..."

"Then let's make a deal! You are not allowed to regret it when the time comes..."

Moira said quickly.

A kiss sometimes comes so suddenly, yet so naturally.

The sea breeze blew Moira's hair into a mess, and the ends of her hair brushed against Roy's cheeks, making him feel a little itchy.

……

Sabrina sat on a rock not far away, pursed her lips and looked at the sea in the distance.

It seemed that he had completely ignored the intimacy between his sister and Roy on the beach.

When she was sitting by the sea and looking at the deep sea, many lights and shadows appeared before her eyes in an instant.

When they first met, the shy boy could only hide behind Ms. Belinda's skirt and only dared to look at them secretly.

Later, the boy became naughty and often ran to the beach to pick up shells. He even secretly lifted her skirt while she was squatting by the Dane River washing clothes. Although he was beaten up by her, the sly smile on his face at that time was imprinted in her mind.

Since then, Sabrina has never treated him well, and even deliberately distanced herself from him...

As the naughty boy grew up, he started playing with Moira, pulling her out of the darkest time and bringing color back to her eyes.

Now seeing the figures almost overlapping on the beach, Sabrina could only purse her lips and lower her head.

The sea breeze blew, and a wave hit the rocks, splashing on Sabrina's feet, feeling a little cool.

Miss Tiffany suddenly rushed out of the sea, her body drew a graceful arc on the sea surface, and dived into the sea again, swinging her tri-color tail. Her white and smooth back was a little dazzling in the moonlight.

After a while, Moira ran to Sabrina's side and pulled her to the sea for a night swim.

After playing in the sea for a while, Moira was in a particularly good mood and even competed with Miss Tiffany in swimming in the sea.

Only when they were tired of playing did Moira pull Sabrina back to the beach and sit down next to Roy.

Roy is on Moira's left and Sabrina is on Moira's right.

The sea breeze was a bit strong at night, so both of them put on bath towels... Miss Tiffany also swam ashore. This time she did not turn her fish tail into legs. She also lay on the beach like Moira, looking up at the night sky covered by veil-like clouds.

"Didn't they say it was going to rain tonight?" Miss Tiffany asked in confusion.

As soon as she finished speaking, a wet sea breeze blew over.

The moon quickly hid in the clouds, and the waves on the sea became turbulent. The sign before the rain came so quickly...

Roy and his two companions had just boarded a flying fish boat when the drizzle of raindrops fell on the beach. Then they boarded a three-masted sailing ship in the rain. At this time, raindrops as big as beans fell from the night sky, crackling into the sea and hitting the deck, making a loud bang.

"The world really changes so suddenly!"

Woods stood at the door of the ship with an umbrella, as if waiting for everyone to come back.

The sea breeze was a bit strong, and even though the sails had been fully lowered, the three-masted sailing ship anchored in the sheltered fjord was still shaking constantly.

Roy and his group ran into the cabin on the top floor of the ship in the rain.

This room is behind the captain's room. It was originally supposed to be the captain's rest area, but this three-masted sailboat was special, so Roy turned it into a suite with three rooms. Unfortunately, the space was still a bit small.

Miss Tiffany found that there was no bathroom with a bathtub in the room and said with some distress:
"It would be great if we could get the Black Pearl out..."

……

The three-masted sailboat No. 7 drifted on the sea all night against the wind and waves. The sailboat rose and fell in the turbulent waves, almost making the three investigators in the cabin vomit bile...

Not only did they not sleep all night, they also had to hold on to the handles with both hands in the narrow cabin and keep their bodies straight to avoid being hit by the violent shaking of the ship.

This kind of long-term physical exertion made the investigator exhausted, and he almost had dark circles under his eyes in the morning.

Just like that... one of the investigators hit his forehead against the upper bed board, leaving an inch-long wound on his forehead...

That night, they were worried every moment that the three-masted sailboat would capsize in the sea, and they stayed awake at all times, ready to abandon the ship.

However, after the half-elf captain fought the wind and waves for a whole night, the wind and waves in the sea became smaller.

The sun also came out from the clouds.

The rain stopped and the sea was calm.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, the three investigators all fell ill.

The three-masted sailing ship then sailed at full speed in the sea, and after another day and night, it arrived at the Queen Evian Islands.

When the investigators got off the boat at the Queen Eweni Islands Pier, their faces turned yellow, their legs became weak, and their eye sockets and cheeks collapsed.

There were only some sea fish on the boat, and the three investigators, the proudest Silver Moon elves, only drank a little water during the journey...

The three investigators supported each other as they got off the boat. The military official from Padstow City looked at their miserable backs and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could arrive at the Queen Ivni Islands safely, his mission would be successfully completed.

He was actually a little worried that these three investigators were in poor health and would die on the way.

After sending them to the Queen Ivni Islands Pier, the half-elf captain did not stay at the pier any longer. Instead, he hoisted the sails and quickly left the Queen Islands.

The military official looked at the receding three-masted sailing ship meaningfully and shut his mouth.

The three investigators got off the boat and squatted on the dock again, retching...

The military official hurried to the dock, showed his identity badges to the elf guards on the dock, and then explained the origins of the three investigators.

The Silver Moon Elf guards at the dock quickly reported the situation to the Silver Pegasus Corps headquarters...

Upon receiving the news, Earl Macaulay actually ran out in person with a group of officers to greet the three investigators.

Seeing the three investigators sitting on the dock in a listless state, Earl Macaulay asked in surprise, "How did you end up like this?"

Then he turned around and ordered the adjutant behind him: "Hurry up and get a few bottles of powerful vitality potion, and three cups of life tree juice..."

The three investigators did not drink the vitality potion, but only drank three cups of life tree juice, and soon their complexion recovered.

Two carriages were waiting at the dock. Lord Macaulay took the three investigators on board. After the carriages started moving, one of the investigators complained:

"The Partington plane is really a desolate place. Apart from the half-blood elves gathering area, there are barbaric natives everywhere! Why didn't you, the Silver Pegasus Corps, properly govern Partington when you first entered it?"

Lord Macaulay coughed twice and did not continue the topic. He pretended not to hear and changed the subject to ask:
"How is the investigation into Roy's killing of the descendants of the Silver Moon Elf nobles going?"

The three investigators looked at each other, and one of them said, "For now... we haven't found any strong evidence!"

Then he asked again: "Then...can the military produce some evidence?"

Lord Macaulay's eyes widened, and he pressed his hands to his chest in anger. After a long while, he whispered:

"Do you want to kill me? Don't tell me that I don't have any so-called evidence. Even if I did, how could I show it? If I really showed it, wouldn't it be obvious that I was harming my own people? How would the soldiers of the Silver Pegasus Legion look at me then? How would the officers in the military look at me?"

"You went to the Partington plane once, but didn't you understand the importance of the words 'Boss Roy' in the hearts of the Partington half-blood elves?"

Lord Macaulay said with some dissatisfaction.

The three investigators did not expect Earl Macaulay's reaction to be so dramatic, and they were stunned in the carriage for a moment.

"Let's not talk about Roy's contribution to rescuing the half-elf slaves on the Pagisto Plateau. Just the achievements of this mine guard regiment in the battle of the Ivenni Islands is enough. No one in our legion can stand up and question him at this time!"

As he spoke, he took out a map from the drawer at the edge of the carriage, tore it open, pointed to a large area and said:
"The boss Roy you are investigating is currently developing Sun Island Bay..."

"But now you don't even have a shred of evidence. How can I possibly deal with him? How can I possibly investigate him?"

"Also, let me make one thing clear to you. If you have evidence that Roy murdered the owner of the Silver Moon Elf Mine, you must bring the evidence back to the Elf Elders Council and have him tried. Don't come to the military and think we will deal with him!"

"But... I still have to remind you that the relationship between the descendant of the Silver Moon Elf nobles and Lord Alvis is difficult to explain. Don't let the Silver Moon Elf nobles lose face when the time comes."
